Isn't this the case for startups worldwide? Ok if you are lucky (which is as much being in the right place, as knowing the right people) you can get a good salary, but finding a startup that actually cares about its employees (other than the 'perks' - which is just marketing to be attractive to potential employees) is like finding a needle in a haystack. I've been contracting for the last few years, the pay is better and I know up front if things go downhill I'm going to be the first to go (1 week termination period). I would like to find something more stable as my wife and I are looking to start a family, but it seems I'm going to have to give up my free time and take a big pay cut, if I want a permenant job in the startup scene.
